Islamic Golden Age- A Brief Review of Contributions to Today's World

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

The last article was a brief overview of the Islamic golden age. This article’s focus is on some of the important contributions from this era, realizing a full review would require writing a multi- volume book. My initial thought was to write about individual scholars but upon further pondering, I decided to sort them under specific fields, although I will mention a few notables here.

1. It's ongoing, too!

[guillaumeb]

2. Shattering preconceptions?

All a part of broadening the scope of the Religion Group.

[yallerdawg]

3. And reminding our fellow Democrats of a religious persuasion...

that we are a tolerant, inclusive, welcoming community!



Mostly.

4. Sometimes. eom

12. Nice post on "compatibilism".

5. The contributions to science and our understanding of the world by people of faith are immeasurable.

Contrary to the rigid dogma and revisionist history of the 11th Commandment folk.

7. Why is this posted in Religion?

Was it their religion that discovered these things? Does their religion get the credit?

8. "Islamic Golden Age" is something of a misnomer.

It wasn't the religion promoting science so much as the internal politics of the Abbasid Caliphate. It's a bit like calling The Rennaisance "The Christian Golden Age".

9. How many decades now do we find this in our history books?

[trotsky]

10. So once again it's part of the agenda...

to give religion credit for things it didn't do, but at least it was present. Got it.

[Major Nikon]

11. Yes, but religion doesn't get the credit when a priest rapes a child

Kinda funny how that works.

[trotsky]

15. Isn't it though?

Priest rapes a child? Well, that's just a human failing.

Muslims make scientific progress? ALL HAIL RELIGION, AND SHUT UP YOU ATHEISTS.

[guillaumeb]

13. Islam is a religion.

[trotsky]

14. It sure is.

Does Islam get the credit for this scientific progress?

Or do people?

Think very carefully before you answer.

[Act_of_Reparation]

16. i've heard this helps.

[guillaumeb]

17. If you had followed your own advice,

your question would have been obvious.

[trotsky]

18. My question is indeed obvious. So why won't you answer it?

I guess people will have to form their own conclusions about your agenda.
